inform6 (6.33.1~b3+dfsg.1-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  After many years of non-free development, Inform 6 is free software!

  The previous upstream maintainers have granted license to the code
  base under the conditions of the Artistic License 2.0, which makes the
  work conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines.

  Many contributed extensions are also now licensed under free software
  conditions.

  Thanks to David Griffith and others for continuing the work of
  expanding the freedom of the Inform 6 code base by pursuing explicit
  written grants of free-software license conditions.

  About the name “Inform 6” and the earlier ‘inform’ package:

  In the intervening years since Inform 6 was last released upstream,
  the Inform community has also embarked on a more ambitious language
  called Inform 7.

  Inform 7 and Inform 6 are not versions of the “same” language. They are
  fundamentally incompatible, maintained as distinct languages and code
  bases.

  Yet Inform 6 remains part of the same project; see the Inform project's
  explanation at <URL:http://inform7.com/sources/i6n/>.

  So these free-software Debian packages have names and descriptions that
  make clear they install the stand-alone Inform 6 language.

  The ‘inform’ package, representing an earlier version of the same
  Inform 6 code base, becomes a transitional package to ‘inform6’.
